Connecting Rod - Cleaning

CAUTION: Do not use a caustic cleaning solution or damage to connecting rods can occur.
  1. Mark and separate the parts and clean with solvent. Clean the oil passages.
    NOTE: If the connecting rod large end is mechanically split or cracked to produce a unique parting face, a locking joint is produced. Parts are not interchangeable.
